About product

The real subject

The AR-15, M16 and M4 family grows out of a single design that since the 1960s has branched into dozens of configurations differing in barrel length, stock, sight arrangement and fittings for mounting accessories. The designation A3 belongs to the later configurations of the M16 line. That is precisely why the whole family is a rewarding subject for collectors: the individual models side by side show how the same weapon changed over time.

What the kit offers

A model of the rifle in 1:3 scale, that is, at roughly a third of the size of the real weapon. That is an unusually large format for a modeling product and it changes the way you work: the parts sit well in the hand, the surface is right under your eye, and the build is closer to working on a mock-up than to assembling a small model. The parts count, the extent of the moving parts and the contents of the box are given in the instructions enclosed in the box.

Building and painting tips

In a large scale the surface forgives far less than in a small one, so give the joints time: let the glued parts cure properly, fill the seam and sand it through several grits until it is smooth. Look at the sanded area against the light after the base coat has been sprayed, as scratches only come out there. Apply thin coats; on a large surface a heavy build-up shows immediately. Set the metal parts apart from the synthetic ones by the degree of sheen rather than by shade, as both tend to be dark. Suggest wear sparingly on the edges a hand really touches, that is, on the grips, around the trigger and on the edges of the receiver.

Terms of supply

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and a display base are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A plastic kit of a model rifle in 1:3 scale, unassembled and unpainted. The parts count and the extent of the moving parts are given in the instructions in the box.

A scale of 1:3 means roughly a third of the size of the real weapon, which is a large format for a modeling product. The exact dimension is stated by the manufacturer on the packaging.

Cement for plastic models. Let the joints cure properly, fill and sand the seam; in a large scale every irregularity is visible.

For collectors and for modelers who want a finished piece for a display case. The large parts sit well in the hand, but they make all the greater demands on the surface finish.
